A sensitive method of testing the surface finish of a metal has been suggested based on the principle of field emission. The quasi-classical calculation of the field-emission current from a plane metal surface shows that the calculated current is always less than the experimental current. The discrepancy between these theoretical and experimental currents has been shown to be a measure of the nonplanarity of the metal surface from which one can get information about how much finish a particular metal surface can take.

Quantum-mechanical problem on electron motion through the model potential barrier of the metal-vacuum system with an additional near-surface dipole layer is considered. Taking into account the continuity conditions of the wave functions and their derivatives at the interface between the two media, general expressions of the coefficient of transparency of the potential barrier and a current density of field emission is obtained in the framework of this model. It is shown the influence of the effective thickness of the dipole layer of the metal surface on a value of the field emission current density.
